Last night I went to the grand opening of the new Broadway play called "Doubt" in DC. it was a great play. I scored some tickets from my older brother who is now the house manager for the national theater. The play was awesome, i mean really good. But even better was after the play ended we got a little tour of the back office to see the offices where my brother works. We then went to the cast party where we got to hang out with the cast. They had an open bar tons of awesome fancy food and yes deserts that could kill you. It was really fun talking over the show with others drinking wine. Felt like a true night on the town.
MY REVIEW
Doubt written by John Patrick Shanley. The show itself was really well written. Its the first show I ever saw where you think writing was as important as the actors. It was so well written it reminded me of a really good movie but you are seeing it live in front of you. The point of the play is to cast doubt in people, things and actions. To show there is no clear answer to what you think you may know is the truth. Where one person saw one thing someone else may see another. We all think we know the answers in our heads based on what our bias's are and things we grew up with. The play makes you walk away and really think about it long after you left the theater. In fact i am still thinking about it now. Great play John very well done.
